Dynamic Group, a Minnesota based contract manufacturer, had difficulty staffing their injection molding production and wanted to make better use of existing labor force. Three collaborative robot arms from Universal Robots have now taken over machine tending and kitting tasks resulting in improved product consistency and a 400% increase in production capacity for those applications.

Whippany Actuations Systems makes electro-mechanical actuation systems for the aerospace and defense industries. The company needed to increase production quickly, preferred to manufacture in-house, and looked for an alternative solution to sinking a large expenditure into a new CNC machine.

34 days. That's all it took for Task Force Tips in Indiana to have their new UR robots pay themselves back. Watch how two UR5 robots working in tandem use vision guidance to pick blanks off a conveyor for CNC milling. The application requires no scripting and was created by a journeyman machinist.

Each day, shrimps, olives, artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic and other specialties are marked with labels, packed and palletized at Atria Scandinavia. This process has now been optimized with collaborative robot arms enabling each production line to prepare on average 228 items per hour for delivery. The payback period on the robots is just one year.

Norwegian meat producer Nortura needed to optimize palletizing, but with limited floor space and a tight budget. A UR10 robot with a ceiling-mounted vision system provided a cost-effective and high-performance palletizing system in one-fifth of the space typically required. If no pallet is present, the floor space is available for other processes.

Automate virtually anything with a collaborative robot arm from Universal Robots. From gluing and mounting to pick and place, and packaging, a robotic arm can streamline and optimise processes across your production operation.

As the first Indian company to implement the use of collaborative robots in automotive assembly lines in 2010, Bajaj Auto Ltd. today has more than 100 cobots driving its position as the world’s 3rd largest motorcycle manufacturer

Nissan Motor Yokohama Plant introduced two “UR10” industrial robots (Cobots) produced by Universal Robot Co., Ltd. into its assembly processes, with an aim to ease human resources. One of the robots is deployed to assist with loosening bolts on cam brackets of an engine, and another is being used to help with the installation of an engine intake manifold. Especially for the latter process, people work collaboratively with the Cobots. As a result, working hours were reduced and standardized, and the overrun of takt time was eliminated.
